Central Sierra Recovery and Restoration
-
Treatments to more than 3,100 acres helped create a defensible space for fire fighters to protect four communities during the 2018 Ferguson Fire. This Joint Chiefs’ project helped in reducing fuel loads and removing hazard trees in the wildland urban interface. These practices are critical in reducing the threat of catastrophic wildfire to local communities and sensitive habitats.

Redington Natural Resource Conservation District
-
The objective of the Redington NRCD is to provide leadership in promoting the conservation of all natural resources within the district. Throughout the Redington District there are few remaining ranching and farming properties. Farmland is used for crop and/or hay production as well as irrigated pasture. Using farm fields for irrigated pasture allows for rest and rotation of rangelands throughout the growing season for best management practices. Recurrent droughts continue to affect forage production, but conservation planning has lead to bet- ter management on what large ranches remain.

Grant Soil and Water Conservation District
-
The Conservation Partnership provides the framework that can access financial support. Many of these practices are beyond the reach of individual producers. Food in the United States is abundant and relatively inexpensive. The Conservation Partnership can claim a small amount of credit for that fact. Grant SWCD teams with the Grant County Extension Service to provide applied agricultural research programs that enrich youth activities and promote occupations that can remain in rural areas.

Surrogate Species Framework
-
This framework provides a way for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and State Fish and Wildlife Agencies to work together in the selection of species to serve as surrogates in landscape conservation design. This framework accomplishes a path forward on several important points:
• It establishes a peer-to-peer relationship between the Service and the States
• It respects the different authorities and responsibilities of States and the Service
• It clarifies the decision-making roles of the States and the Service
• It helps define the role of LCCs, not as decision bodies, but rather as forums providing significant additional capacity, information, and tools to assist States and the Service with approaches to landscape-scale conservation in their geographies.

State Agencies and Climate Change Planning
-
State Wildlife Action Plans prepared by natural resource agencies describe monitoring species and their habitats, monitoring the effectiveness of the conservation actions proposed, and adapting these conservation actions to respond appropriately to new information or changing conditions, including climate change. Other agencies at the state and federal level have also identified a need to plan strategically for climate change. The following states had published climate change plans or reports at the time of publication of the Appalachian Development and Operations Plan.
